I vote we all say what we are going to do ("I'll go have lunch", for example) immediately after we get off of the site. Imagine how fun it'd be if for every comment, you got to see what some random person on the internet is going to go do with their time next, even if it has absolutely nothing to do with the topic, like lunch, sweet.

Credible? Right, no guy would EVER lie to impress a chick? (I believe I’ve told several while in my 20’s that I was in MLB draft then got hurt. /s)

It doesn’t hit you that many times the recruits are just saying what she wants to hear? Sorry, she doesn’t seem credible to me in the least. They will announce themselves or another site first if it is official.

She has a great repoire with the recruits themselves. Most of her information comes from them. As we have seen with David Dawson, that might not lead to a 1.000 batting average, but its not like her sources are suspect.

And Tom Beaver shouldn't rely throw stones. He used to report fact after fact from a poster known as Maizeman. Long story short, Scout cut him for making up information, yet Tom made serious $ from reporting this posters reports as facts.

..and pardon my obvious bias, but NO ONE should base their opinion of a person on what Tom Beaver says of them. Tom Beaver would accuse my son of stealing info if he got a high five from a recruit and tweeted about it.

“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”

..If he commits and an article happens to get published on maize n brew about said commitment, hypothetical article would include links to other article that talks about how he was 270 coming into his freshman year, didn't want to play on the line, so he slimmed down, worked harder than any incoming HS freshman I've ever met, and got himself to a cut 230

I believe he was an OL at one point, but then lost the weight and switched to RB because he didn't want to get recruited as a lineman for either offense or defense. That's what I remember reading anyway.

"Funny isn't it, how naughty dentists always make that one fatal mistake."

I've seen his tweets too, I just want to avoid getting excited. We thought Treadwell was on the verge of committing, but now he is just letting it play out and taking more visits. So who knows, kids these days loooove attention, and he knows he is the belle of the ball right now.

You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in 'Nam of course.

I heard Ohio didn't want him. In that case, I don't want him either. I only want to get recruits that Ohio wants.

Really excited about this commit. I definitely think there are some things that Green can work on (balance, hands/receiving), but the kid is pretty much everything that Hoke wants in a power back. Hoke is going to be extremely happy with Green, Smith, and Shallman. That is MANBALL right there.

Who knows. I think it has to be a bit unnerving to a recruit to be contacted by all these different people claiming to be recruiting analysts. I trust Ace (ours, not chatsports), Tremendous and TomVH, but I just don't see the need for any more than a few people doing the same thing.

In the context it was used I could see how it could be confusing. Because it was posted above that Mike Farrel asked Green and got the same answer. I thought you were talking about Farrell as well and was saying "old friend" sarcastically.

You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in 'Nam of course.

What is the point of asking him that? Did he expect Green to just be like "You bet your sweet ass I'm going to commit! Thanks for asking, Mike!" Hopefully that means yes, but he has been playing this recruiting game pretty well, so it might just be something to get us all hyped up for no reason. It's hard not to get your hopes high on this happening though.

Edit: Whoops, thought it was Farrell. Tom gets a pass because I like him.

So hypothetically, if he commits, who do you guys think gets redshirted between Shallman, Smith, and Green? All three backs are widely regarded as bruising tackle-busters rather than burners. I know people are probably going to assume that Shallman is destined for FB, but he's claimed that he is strictly being recruited at the RB position, which makes this class absolutely loaded with talent in the backfield. Which potential option are you guys most excited about?

I watched a few videos myself and also noticed there was nothing flashy or overly exciting about him. However, I also noticed there was not really a single play where he didn't gain at least about 3-5 extra yards after first contact. Seeing that was really all I needed to get excited about this kid. I hope he does eventually go blue.

none of us should be surprised. he's a 17 year old kid and the top rb recruit in the country. i'm sure he's loving the attention.

regardless, we should all be pretty damn happy about how this weekend went. he seemed to love his visit, and a couple weeks to a month ago, were there any of us out there who thought we had any remotely reasonable chance to land this kid? even if he doesn't commit today or tomorrow, our stock with him went up considerably.

Attention campers. Lunch is cancelled due to lack of hustle. Deal with it.
